Kenshi

I don't know where to even start with Kenshi. I began watching this game when the first demo of the engine was released almost ten years ago when the lead Dev was doing this all as a side project. It absolutely floored me then and it still floors me now with just how expansive and immersive the world is. Kenshi, at heart, is a brutal take on what people might be like in an unforgiving world. Technological ascendancy used to be part and parcel of this world, but now it's gone. That crashed space ship in the desert -- Well, to the everyday traveler of this world, it's an unknown magical relic of the past. It's left there to the rust and dust. Primarily because that everyday traveler is currently fleeing from a mob of people who want to beat him within an inch of death and go sell him to a nearby slave trader. That everyday traveler is you, by the way. And if you want, the game will simulate this entire scenario to whatever finality you want. From your imprisonment, escape, eventual rise, then fall, from power. When your character dies, you won't get any fanfare or pomp and circumstance. Your character will simply disappear from the list like anyone else. You're not special. This world will remind you of that every bloody step of the way.

Great open world survival game. It can be a little overwhelming at first, but if you stick with it, very rewarding.

The game gives you few choices to start off. With nothing but your life. Or $1000 and a weapon. Go cause trouble or go into town and get some jobs to make more cash. But im sure you will meet your end by a Beak Thing hahaha! But it sure is a fun game! Theres no time limits on this. There's also mods out there that let you have 250 people in your groups. This is one for your collection

This game is great when you like to create your own story and your own city and with mods you can make it more challenging :) But be warned this game is not for every one, you want story telling hand holding games go for some very good and fun Bethesda games love them to :)

I usually eat up sandbox games really, but this one really didn't click with me. The biggest weakness of this game has to be the fighting system. Hands down one of the least interactive, to the point you'll feel like you participate more in an auto-battler then in here. Another big issue is the inventory. Without a squad at the ready you'll lose so much time looting even a single corpse. And the lack of inventory space also discourages traveling over long distances. Point being, too much time is wasted on non-issues instead of actually enjoying the game and it's world. An amazing vision, a very .... dry execution.
